This blog explains how Flow+ streamlines CapEx approvals by replacing manual, email-based processes with automated, multi-stage workflows. It highlights how structured request forms, finance validation and board-level visibility speed up decision-making, ensure compliance and provide real-time tracking for complete transparency.
Capital Expenditure (CapEx) requests are high-stakes business decisions that involve significant financial investment, compliance checks and strategic alignment. Whether it’s purchasing new machinery, expanding infrastructure, or investing in technology upgrades, CapEx approval processes often span multiple departments—finance, operations, procurement and even the board of directors.
Unfortunately, in many organizations, CapEx approvals still rely on manual processes: email chains, scattered spreadsheets and back-and-forth communication that can take weeks to finalize. This delays critical investments, slows project execution and frustrates stakeholders.
With Flow+, CapEx requests are automatically routed through a predefined, transparent approval chain—ensuring that every stakeholder, from finance to the board, has the visibility they need to make informed decisions quickly.
CapEx requests start with a digital form that captures all required details upfront—project description, budget, cost-benefit analysis, vendor quotes, expected ROI and compliance documentation.
Benefit: Eliminates incomplete submissions and reduces back-and-forth clarifications.
Flow+ routes each CapEx request through a predefined workflow that mirrors your internal approval hierarchy: Initial requester → Department Head → Finance Team → Board/Executive Committee. Routing rules ensure that no step is skipped and parallel reviews can be triggered for faster processing.
Benefit: No more chasing approvals—every step happens in sequence, automatically.
Before a request reaches the board, finance reviewers validate budget availability, cost-effectiveness and alignment with financial strategy.
Benefit: Reduces the risk of approving financially unsound projects.
Board members can review requests in Flow+ with all relevant financial data, project details and supporting documents attached.
Benefit: Decisions are made faster with complete context—no delays due to missing information.
Requesters, finance teams and board members can track approval progress in real-time via dashboards and notifications.
Benefit: Transparency for all stakeholders, reducing status inquiries.
Every approval, rejection and comment is logged in Flow+, along with timestamps and approver details.
Benefit: Supports audit readiness and ensures accountability.
